As a server linux is stable. As a desk top you still can crash or freeze
or have the system start thrashing to disk. Windows as a part-time OS
where you play a few games, do a little this and that and turn off the
computer at the end of your play time works fine. Windows was never
designed for multi-user or 24/7 use. Also win/95 is a small os (yes you
could get on floppy) compared to a typical modern system. ( yes I know
about the tiny linux versions ).

PS A PC-laptop is a real computer,but a tube system is not something
to drop on your foot. :)
